Business Administration Apprenticeship Level 2 and 3 at Buxton & Leek College

Course description

The new qualifications at Level 2 & 3 programmes are "hybrid", i.e they combine both competence and knowledge components.

Your time will be divided between your workplace and college. Your employer will work in partnership with us to deliver your training programme. While you are in college may take part in practical skills sessions, theory and Functional Skills sessions
(if applicable). Qualifications in Business and Administration are for anyone who wants to work in an administrative support role in public or private sector organisations, or for people who want to improve their administrative and supervisory skills.

A Level 2 Diploma is for those in a junior role who want to develop their skills to become a future team leader or business manager. You need practical knowledge of more complex administrative support, perhaps supporting meetings and events or retrieving
information.

A Level 3 Diploma is for those with some knowledge and experience of administration systems who want to develop their skills to implement and monitor administrative procedures and systems or perhaps to move into a management role.

There are a number of different units to choose from taken from outcomes such as:
